Aglaonema pictum tricolor care and propagation

[@offgridas]

My girlfriend and I successfully germinated 60 seeds. We soaked them first, then peeled the red fruit off, the rub the clear layer off the seed, then put them in sphagnum moss in a snaplock container in the hot water cupboard untill roots started appearing two weeks later. About a month from then we potted most of them, about 10 took an extra month in the sphagnum moss. They are all under a grow light now forming their second leaves.

Oh man I need to try that. Must be excitibg

I agree. I have several varieties. The top soil can be dry fully but too moist on the bottom soil. Add perlite and don't overwater. Can lead to root rot.

[@kristinetang858]

Oh Sean, everytime I see one of your propagation videos I cringe a little. The brutality of you chopping the plants and plucking the leaves!!! But after seeing the results..... so satisfying! I just bought one of these beauties. It's still quite small, but when it's bigger I hope to have the courage to do the same ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. I just had a disaster in my latest aglaonema video. Got too cocky haha. When you propagate this make sure you are on top of the moisture, they love slightly moist that dries out a bit but hate water/wet soil.

hi i did some cuttings of aglaonema. again i did it way before watching your vlog! aaaaaah i hope i did my cuttings justice and they would thrive

[@onlyplants]

They are so easy 😀

[@katigarrido]

Hello Sean, thank you for this awesome video. I have one and I overwatered it, all the leaves are yellowing quickly. I checked the roots and they’re not rotten yet but it’s losing all of its leaves quickly. Should I just leave it alone? The stem is firm and it’s short so I don’t have too much room to cut and propagate. Thank you!

[@onlyplants]

I would water it correctly from now on and give it time. They can recover quite well

[@bunnypop6018]

Another great and relevant video. My aglaonema pictum tricolor was attacked by mealybugs so eventually I had to cut it up and propagate the cuttings but they all became mush. Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna water my new one less often and give it more light

[@horace6851]

Awesome video and I love your curiosity. Just one teeny tiny point if I may. I'm a scientists and do experiments for a living (it's fun actually) but if you want to get the most of your different setups you really need notes... I know you have the videos and can get all the info but often you say you forgot how many cuttings you had, where they were placed, how did you treat them... Take notes! It makes a world of the difference. I hope you don't take it the wrong way, I'm not criticizing or accusing you of lack of organization, it will just really help with your projects. I tell it to all the students I work with too.

Aglaonema propagation anything need to be carful. Can I grow them in water . Need root hormone.? Any specific side to check before cutting?

[@onlyplants]

Just water will do.

[@Charline-Venefica]

I really, desperately need this alocasia sprouting potting mix ... 🤤

[@ianpgonzaga]

Are the root systems for aglaonema pictum tricolour deep rooting or more shallow and spread our rooting?

[@onlyplants]

Deep 😀 aglaonemas really benefit from a tall but narrow pot. But that is if you grow 1 single stem… they do become a bush at some point and will need some horizontal space eventually.

[@chanwijaya8974]

Hi Sean! I love your contents, they're very insightful and interesting to watch ❤️ I see that you put some slow released fertilizers on your plants, I wonder how often you fertilize them? And do you also add non-slow released fertilizers?

[@onlyplants]

Do check out my video titled fertilizer where I explain in great details. But to summarize I use many types of fertilizer, natural and chemicals, but dilute them a lot. Also I never ever measure amounts, usually go with instincts

[@elivaquera]

Would love for you to post an update. In particular, I would also love to see pots with several shoots in them? I would like some guidance and inspiration. Whenever I see aglaonemas, they are in pots with lots of foliage, but not the pictum tricolor, which are usually shown in one lonely stem. I want to propagate my lonely stem to make a fuller pot with more stems and leaves.

Have you watched the video till the very end? I post updates in every videos 😋

Yes it can produce seeds! People hybridize this plant so yes it can be pollenated by hand.

[@elivaquera]

I just got a pictum tricolor with a very leggy stem, but I see no eyes on it. Can I still propagate by chopping the different nodes into pieces?

[@onlyplants]

Yepp you can. If you look carefully you should be able to see the eyes 😀 or if in doubt plant the single node cutting facing up instead of sideways but be sure not to overwater it

[@elivaquera]

[@onlyplants]

Hello the silver bay is super easy. When you take a chunk off the top, it should put out a few branches from the available nodes below. Pruning them this way is the best way to get them to be bushy

Keeping the flowers on will cause new leaves to be small as most energy is expended on the flowers. I might increase light a bit, and also increase watering if you increase light 😀

Awesome! I heard the reason people recommend to change the water more often is because the oxygen gets used up. I only change my prop waters once a week maybe though :P
